I actually feel guilty to put someone through all that little "Oh no! What have i done!?" phase. I am so sorry Mrs Van der Woodsen. What you did was not fully wrong. It was somehow my fault too that you mad such a comment. 30 hours. Should have made it 30 weeks. That would have been torture. JKJK. I am not mean am I? Haha.
Anyway, I went for my sister's dance performance entitled NUS Dance Reflections: Body Language. The concert featured all the dance groups of the NUS. My sis, Zakiah Fatin Binte Saiful Imran, was in the Ilsa Tari group a.k.a malay dance. She was the girl who ketuk botol(hit bottles) in the beginning. The theme was Communication and she somehow communicated with the man on the other side.
It was contemporary so a lot of freestyle i guess. Lighting was very good. Much better than all the SYF dance presentation groups, the dance technique and lighting I mean. Her cikgu tarian, cikgu Osman Hamid had a solo where he was in this plastic tube. My sis commented that it looked like a condom. Haha. The condom ada lubang so the air kept on escaping and it became flaccid. There was the scary part where dancers were in bridge position and were walking about. Ive always thought the track ends abruptly, like it was missing a final beat of the next bar. I dont know. And then it ended with Cikgu Osman praying to God. Communication to God, get it?
The Dance Synergy was Ballet. Boom Boom Pow in the second half of their dance. A thorn among the roses. He did this impressive thing when he jumped and rolled across the three quarters of the stage.
Chinese dance was yawn. The usual Tibet dance with the sleeves.
Dance Blast, hip hop. Energetic. Okay I guess. I am not really a fan.
Indian Dance. Ermm it felt like I was watching a half-an-hour long performance. Though it was half of that.
Dance ensemble was the best I guess. Utilizing the screen behind to make the stage look much more deeper. Walking backwards...
Ranking:
1) Dance Ensemble
2) Malay Dance
3) Synergy
4) Blast
5) Chinese Dance <-- No link to communication
6) Indian Dance
